What is the referral, or eligibility criteria?

We are funded to work with people to improve their strength, balance and coordination, and this is a preventative class.

 

Inclusion criteria

The participant should answer yes to the following:

• Able to understand instruction?
• Able to travel to take part in activity in the community?         
• Able to take part in seated and standing activity?

 

Exclusion Criteria

• Severe hearing loss.
• Severe visual impairment.
• Suspected medical conditions that have not been investigated.
• Difficulties with mobility that will affect ability to participate in standing and seated exercise.

The classes are designed to be delivered in a group setting and whilst we understand participants may have a variety of needs, if someone is deemed as needing more 121 support due to an advanced condition e.g. dementia, unfortunately they are not appropriate for these classes.

Those who are not fortunate enough to be deemed too able / active to benefit from the sessions, we will do our best to identify alternative opportunities to attend. We are in the process of creating a list of activities across Shropshire, and there are other organisations locally who can help.
